Bishop R Mark, DDS

I’m not a patient of Dr. Bishop but had the opportunity to fill in for his front office gal while she was away for two weeks.
I have over 24 years experience working in a dental office and have worked for many. Dr. Bishop is definately not the norm in that his approach is conservative, personable, and genuine. He will let you know what he recommends and there is no push at all. His fees are reasonable in comparison and most importantly, the quality of dental care is top notch.
His entire staff was wonderful and it’s apparent that caring for their patients is more than an 8 – 5 deal.

Dr. Bishop made me feel right at home, and despite some bad news about a tooth problem that I have, he walked me through all my options and explained it in a way that made it seem really manageable. I wish I had gone to see him sooner. Very honest and thorough. A true perfectionist, which is a must for me with dentists.

Fantastic dentist. He’s definitely the best one I’ve ever had, which is saying a lot since I’ve had a TON of dental work done. When I got done with my procedure my first thought was to get on here and tell everyone how relatively awesome (getting dental work done is never actually awesome) it was!
I’ve had a few bad experiences throughout my life which led to an almost phobic fear of the dentist. It’s been over a year since my last visit to my old dentist and it was a huge effort to get my behind into that chair! So…
Office staff: Laura is wonderful. She is super nice and very knowledgeable. She was very understanding and reassuring and made the scheduling process very easy.
Office: Nothing fancy but clean, bright and well-​maintained.
Assistant: She was kinda new to the office so she was still learning their equipment. She was very nice, professional and knew her stuff.
Dr. Bishop: He’s awesome. I agree with another reviewer who said he’s kinda ‘goofy’ but in a good way. He was easy to talk to, asked about my past experiences and why I’m so scared. He immediately put me at ease. He did my exam and cleaning. He was very gentle, talked me through everything and both procedures were painless. I ended up needing a lengthy procedure because my last dentist did a shoddy job. Luckily the scheduling worked out well I came back to get my procedure soon after. Again, he talked me through everything and had me listen to music during the procedure. He also helped me relax by having me do deep breathing. His anesthetic shots were the least painful I’ve had as well. Overall, it was the least unpleasant dental experience ever!
I’ve had issues with my TMJ and clenching my teeth for several years and he’s the first dentist to offer me an oral night guard. He’s very thorough!
Side note: They accept CareCredit. He never gave me the feeling that he was pushing treatment or having things done sooner than need be (i.e. wringing money out of me and my insurance).

Dr. Bishop is the best! Just got my pearly whites cleaned today and I’m all good for 6 months. I’ve been with Dr. Bishop since ’04 after my last dentist asked me to find another dentist when I fainted in her chair (yes, I’m a fainter). Dr. Bishop was excited to take me as a patient and I haven’t had a queezy moment in his care. He replaced all my silver fillings with composites going on 6 years now and says they could last me another 10 to 12 years no problem. My boy is almost ready to start going to the dentist and I know his teeth are in good hands with Dr. Bishop.

I HATE dentists. They are scary and usually rough with every thing they do. That is one of the reasons I ended up with so many problems that I had to get taken care of. I found Dr. Bishop on google and he was literally right behind my house and so I made an appointment.
Dr. Bishop was great. He is the first dentist that I enjoyed meeting. He is very thorough and you can tell he is a type A-​perfectionist which is a great thing to have in a dentist. He is very honest with you and doesn’t charge more than what is reasonable. He seems to be less expensive than the last person I saw.
Laura at the front desk is amazing by the way. She is very good at what she does and always makes sure to call with an appointment reminder. She also calls to make sure you schedule a cleaning, etc.

I started going to Dr. Bishop about 4 years ago after getting a recommendation from a friend. I don’t really know how to write a dental review, but here goes:
Staff:
The receptionist was very nice. The hygienist was friendly and did a good job — not too rough, but did the job.
Offices:
The offices are a little older, but it looks like they’ve tried to update a few of the cosmetic issues. New door logo, new carpets, etc. The rooms are a little dated, but are clean and bright.
Equipment:
Not really the expert here, but I’ll try. Nothing out of the ordinary, I guess. I haven’t had anything major done beside a filling (normally just cleanings), but everything seems in order and is in good working condition.
The Dr.:
Here’s where I give the 4-​stars. My past experience with dentists has been… varied. The dentist I had in my teens was terse and rushed, and as a result, kind of scary. This is the first time I’ve actually looked forward to the «review» time at the end of the appointment. Dr. Bishop is a bit goofy, but very friendly and very affable. In addition, you can really tell he knows what he’s doing. He seems to take pride in his work and enjoys what he does.
